We now, through the kindness and perseverance of our cousin Mr. John B. White of Kansas City, Mo., are able to give you the English Home of our ancestor. Also, in the Appendix, the ancestors of the wife of John Prescott, founder of Lancaster, Mass., from 1447, as they are not only his ancestors, but of thousands of other descendants of John White.

The branches, in this volume, are not connected with each other, but each connected with the earlier volumes. We think this our last volume. We have given, as far as possible, all data to the present day, also inserted blank pages in the back of the book that each may continue their own record. Digitized by the Internet Archive

2 ROBERT (3), we do not find his birth or baptism, but his home is in South Petherton in 1598, and probably earlier. In 1601 he was Churchwarden, as his father and brother had been before him. He had wife Joan, who died in South Petherton,

Sept. 13, 1631 ; he died there Mar. 8, 1642. We find no trace of a will, but the Chancery Proceedings show us he was father of

our ancestor, John White. Children :

29. Robert, 4 living 1650.

3 JOHN (14), bapt. in the "Old Church," in South Petherton,

Somerset, England, Mar. 7, 1602 ; m. in Drayton parish, Somer- set, May 28, 1627, Joan, dau. of Richard and Maudlin (Staple- Cooke) West, bapt. in Drayton, Apr. 16, 1606. They lived for a time in Drayton, where their two oldest sons were baptised. In 1638, or before, he owned a home in Southarpe, in the parish of South Petherton, which he sold to his brother Robert before coming to New England with his wife and little children to make a new home in the wilderness. He settled first in Salem. Al- though Savage and others have told us (and we supposed with good authority), that he came in 1638, we have never been able to find a record of his movements before 1639, and now believe he left England in April and reached Salem in August, 1639,

when he is said to have been " received an inhabitant of Salem, and granted 60 acres land, near Mr. Smith's farm."

For more than ten years Mr. John B. White, employed men both here and in England, trying to find the early home of our ancestor, at great labor and expense. Yet he was ever on the lookout personally for the name, and was the first to see the following letter from Stoke Abbott, Dorset, England, that told us that John White returned to England in 1648. He now con- sulted with those who were doing the work, but Dorset was mis- leading, for they could not find trace of him there. After trying

many points that failed to give light on the subject, Mr. J. Henry Lea set his men at work on the " Chancery Proceedings," and we now have the benefit of their hunt.

Will of Richard West JOHN WHITE 15

CHANCERY PROCEEDINGS BEFORE 1714

White vs. White, et al.

Bridges 389:188.

Bill of complaint of John White of the parish of South Pether- ton, co. Somerset; yeoman, dated 6 February 1648-9. About ten years since, by agreement between one Harvord deceased and William Storton, Plaintiff was to give to Harvord and Stor- ton the sum of £& for the grass growing in a close in the parish of Ilbrews in the county aforesaid. For payment thereof plaintiff became bound in a penal bond and about the time limited did pay unto Storton the half of the debt. Notwithstanding, Har- vord, now dead, his wife, and Thomas their son, have commenced action at law against plaintiff, and will neither abate the money paid to Storton nor take less upon the bond than the whole pen- alty. Further : About ten or eleven years now sithence plaintiff's brother agreed to pay unto him the sum of ,£430 in consideration of a surrender of a copyhold which plaintiff had for his and other lives in a tenement with meadow thereunto belonging, lying at a place called Southart in the parish of South Petherton, to the end that the said Robert (sic) might be admitted tenant thereof. Plaintiff accordingly surrendered his estate, and Robert White was admitted thereto, but failed to make payment of the greater part of the £430. Further : About 20 years sithence, upon plaintiff's marriage with his now wife, daughter of Richard West, said West became bound unto plaintiff in the penal sum of £80 to pay unto plaintiff the sum of £40 in case his (West's) wife should happen to die and he. (West) should marry again and so cause his tenement lying at Burton, co. Somerset, to be with- held from plaintiff and his wife, she having an estate therein ex- pectant on the death of the said West. West's wife died, and West thereupon married Elizabeth a second wife. West died, and Elizabeth his then wife, coming into all his real and personal estate, withholdeth the copyhold tenement at Burton from plaintiff and his wife and denies to give any satisfaction in respect of the £40 secured to plaintiff by West her husband. Moreover 16 ANCESTORS OF

Robert White and Robert Hall and his wife, i.e. Elizabeth West combining and confederat -together, do pretentt themselves witnesses one for the other to make good their plots against plaintiff. Writin a cause between John White v. Robert White and Robert Hall and his wife, dated 12 May 1649.

Answer of Robert White one of the defendants, sworn at

Ilminster 26 May 1649:—Defendant sayeth that true it is that on or near about the month of February 1638 this defendant did agree to pay unto plaintiff £430 in consideration of a surrender to be made of some copyhold estate which plaintiff had for his own life and the lives of Thomas White and Josias White his brethren and for the lives of every of them longest living, of and in a messuage, tenement, orchard and 20 acres 3 roods of land meadow and pasture lying in the Manor of Southarpe in the parish of Southpetherton, to the end that this defendant Robert White might have an estate of the same for the lives of such three persons as this defendant should name. And this defendant confesseth that plaintiff, according to agreement, did afterwards, at a court holden for the said Manor in the said month of February, surrender his said estates, and that immediately upon the same surrender, at the same Court, a copyhold estate of the said premises was granted to this defendant Robert White for life and the lives of Robert White the younger and William White this defendant's sons and the life of every of them longest living, and that thereupon at the same Court, this defendant was admitted to the said premises. And this defendant further sayeth that upon and after the said surrender this defendant at divers times before the month of May, then next following did satisfy and pay unto plaintiff divers sums of money amounting in all to ;£235.2s.6d. and he further sayeth that plaintiff, being indebted unto divers persons in divers sums, did appoint and direct defendant to pay the same, and that he, this defendant, in or before the said month of May, did pay as directed the sums following: To Johan Peirce alias Moren widow £A0., to John

Moore, £6. 13s. 4d ; to Roger Baylye and his son ^"5.6s.8d; to Thomas White £7$; to William Meriam ,£8.12s.9d; to (Joscelyn?) Gardner ;£l0.l6s.0d; to Roger Gawler ,£6.10s.0d; To John Woolmington £3; to John Lcgg £ll and to William ,£10

in all £192.1 7s.ll. Afterwards, in or about the said month JOHN WHITE. 17 of May, 1639, plaintiff departed out of this Kingdom of England and sailed into New England and then remained by the space of divers years after, and in or about the month of February, 1647- of England, did unto (8), plaintiff, being returned out New come this Kingdom of England, since which time defendant hath de- livered unto plaintiff so much corn and malt as amounteth in all to £6. 9s. 3d, and one steer for £4, and did pay unto one William Goold 8s. 4d. Defendant has thus paid out to or for plaintiff, the sum of ^439. 10s. by which it appears that he hath not only fully satisfied plaintiff of his debt, but that plaintiff is indebted to this defendant in the sum of ^9.10s.O. Concerning the other matters in plaintiff's bill contained, and laid to the charge of the other defendants Katherine Harvord alias Harvye, Thomas Har- vord alias Harvye and Robert Hall and Elizabeth his wife, defendant sayeth that he is a mere stranger to all and every of them and therefore cannot say anything material touching or concerning them or any of them or any part or parcel of them or any them.

Answer of Thomas Harvord alias Harvye one of the defendants, sworn at Ilminster 7 April 1649: — Defendant sayeth that he hath heard by the relation of William Stourton that in or about May 1638 there was an accompt made, with the consent of John Harvye alias Harvord this defendant's father, since deceased, between the said William Stourton and plaintiff, touching moneys which plaintiff did then owe as well to the said John Harvord as to the said William Stourton, for the rent of certain grounds called Paddocks and Stretes, situate in Eronshill, co. Somerset, which John Harvord and William Stourton had letten unto plaintiff, and for the herbage and grass growing in the field called Metsorland (or Metforland) in the parish of Ilebrewers, whereof John Harvord and William Stourton were then owners.

On that accompt, plaintiff was found arrears, viz : to William Stourton £6, and to John Harvord ;£8.5s.0d. He believes that plaintiff, for the more sure payment of the ;£8.5s.O to John Har- vord owing, did by bill obligatory bearing date 21 May 1638 acknowledge the debt and become bounden in the penal sum of ;£l6.10s.O to pay the same on the 21st of May next ensuing. He hath heard William Stourton Confess that plaintiff had paid or given to him (Stourton) satisfaction for the money due to him 15 ANCESTORS OF upon the said accompt. Plaintiff, after he had entered into the aforesaid bond, did depart out of this kingdom of England and sailed into New England, where he remained divers years after. John Harvord meanwhile died intestate, and letters of administration of his goods were committed to Katherine Harvord his late wife, who, having some intelligence that plaintiff was returned out of New England, and being an aged and week woman and not well able to travel about her affairs, did entreat this defendant being her son, to go about the obtaining of the said debt and to cause the said bill to be put in suit at the common law against plaintiff.

The answer of Robert and Elizabeth Hall does not appear.

White vs. White

Mitford 119/135.

THE BILL OF COMPLAINT of John White of South Petherton, Co. Somerset, Yeoman, dated May 28, 1650.

Robert White, Plaintiff's father deceased, was in his life time by purchase seized of and in a copyhold tenement or lands lying within the Manor and parish of Meriott, Co. Somerset, called Middions, worth £10 yearly, which he held by copy of Court Roll for the term of his life with remainder therein to plaintiff and Robert White, plaintiff's younger brother for the term of their lives and the life of the longer liver of them with a certain rent charge thereupon reserved. Plaintiff's father and brother being so seized of the said lands, his father fell into treaty with Mr. Hooper, now deceased, then Lord of the said Manor, for the purchase of the fee simple and inheritance of the said lands, whereupon it was agreed between them that Hooper should convey to plaintiff's father the fee simple and inheritance of the said lands to the use of said plaintiff's father during his life and after that to the plaintiff during his life. Hooper did further convey JOHN WHITE. 19 unto Robert White your Orator's brother, the said lands from and after the determination of the aforesaid Copyhold Estate. Plaintiff's father Robert White, died about ten years since, seized of the said copyhold Estate without having at any time during his life legally extinguished the same. Plaintiff, to whom the said lands then fell, ought immediately to have come, being at that time and until about three fears now sithence, beyond the seas in New England.

Plaintiff's brother Robert White entered into the said lands and ever since hath enjoyed same and thereof taken the rents and profits to his own use and hath burnt the copy of Court Roll, the better to avoid plaintiff from his just claim in the lands. The Court Rolls of the aforesaid Manor are also lost and the Manor itself dismembered and no Courts have been held for the same for divers years past. Plaintiff therefore have recourse to the common law, hence his appeal to this Court.

THE ANSWER OF ROBERT WHITE defendant to the Bill of Complaint of John White, taken at Ilminster, co. Somer- set, June 22, 1650, before Thomas Collins and John Baker.

Defendant believes it to be true that Robert White the father about the second year of the late King James (1605) did purchase by copy of Court Roll, an estate to himself, to the Complainant, and to this defendant, for their lives successively, according to the custom of the Manor of Meriott, said lands being called

Great Middons, and being of the yearly value of £6 or £7 . Rob- ert the father and this complainant being so seized of the said premises, Henry Hooper and William Chubb of Crewkerne, co. Somerset, gent., (Chubb being a feofee in trust for said Hooper,)

did by deed bearing date May 2, 4 James I, (1607) for the sum of £25 to them by the said Robert White in hand paid, sell unto this defendent the said lands to have and to hold to this defendant for ever. But this defendant confesseth that in the deed of feoffment the above mentioned copyhold premises are excepted. Afterwards Robert White, the father, and plaintive, by deed

dated Mar. 3, 6 Charles, (1631) did surrender unto this defendant all the said Copyhold estate, and this defendant by deed dated

Mar. 7, 6 Charles I, did grant unto Robert White, the father, 20 ANCESTORS OF one annuity of £5 out of the said lands during the life of the said Robert and Joan his then wife and the longer liver of them, the father, died about eight years since.

Plaintiff is John White of South Petherton, co. Somerset, yeoman. Dated 10 May 1649.

This is the Bill of Complaint of John White in the suit

White v. White et a/., Bridges 389 : 188. The bill as attached to the other documents in that suit is m precis only and in bad condition. This, the original Bill, is somewhat fuller and in sound condition. It alleges that defendant Robert White, plaintiff's brother, in failing to make payment for the lands at Southarpe, "the rather encouraged himself therein, for that, declaring himself disaffected to ye Parliament, and knowing plaintiff to be ex- pressly engaged in ye Parliament's cause, hoped that plaintiff could never have power to obtain a legall remedy." It further states that Elizabeth, relict of Richard West, afterwards married

Robert Hall ; and that the bond in ,£80, entered into by Richard West, was " plundered and taken from plaintiff amongst other things by ye violence of ye King's partie of souldiers."

bill of complaint is dated 21 Nov. 1650. About 10 or 12 years sithence plaintiff's brother Andrew White, deceased, was indebted unto Henry Jeanes of Dowlishwake, co. Somerset, gent, also deceased, in the sum of ^100. Plaintiff's father became bound unto said Jeanes, together with the said Andrew, in the penal sum of ,£200 for the payment of this debt, it being agreed that Robert the father's executors should never in any way be " dampnified or prejudiced" by the bond. Andrew White, after the giving of thebond, lived divers years in a " plentiful! manner," being possessed of a great estate, both real and personal, and did pay unto Jeans all or the greater part of: the said debt. Andrew White departed this life about four years ago, leaving all his estate, in value near ^1000, unto Robert White his son and executor. Henry Jeans is also lately dead, and one Ambrose Moore, his kinsman and executor, in combination with Robert White son of said Andrew, hath sued plaintiff, as executor to his father Robert White, upon the said bond, and hath enforced plaintiff to pay unto him some ,£50.

Answer of Robert White gent, to the foregoing bill of complaint, dated North Curry, co. Somerset, 2 April 1651: — described Robert White the elder as being " in his lifetime a prov- ident and cautious man." Says Andrew White his father died worth only £"694.8.10 in personal Estate and that chiefly in debts owing to him. He also left a copyhold estate in reversion.

REPORT OF THE ELEVENTH REUNION.

Wenham, Mass., Aug. 15, 1906.

"The association of the Descendants of John White of Wen- ham and Lancaster," was called to order at 11.15 a. m., in the Union Church for its eleventh Annual session, with the Presi- dent, John B. White of Kansas City, Mo., in the chair. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Watson, pastor of the church President White, before taking up the regular order of business of the day, favored the association with a short speech. Dis- claiming the ability to make a speech or the intent to establish such a precedent to the inconvenience of any one who might succeed him in the office. Then Mr. White proceeded to speak very interestingly of the "Then" and "Now." Then, when our An- cestor came into what was Salem, to take possession of the land recently granted to him, and to make a home for his family, he came possibly on horse-back, but more probably with an Ox- team. The speaker briefly sketched the changes of the two hundred and sixty-seven years, and the great progress in all branches of business and all departments of life. And dwelling particu- larly upon the subject of Transportation. Then it was an Ox- team, Now, to-day some have come on the steam-cars; some on the electric cars, while he had come in an Automobile. He called attention to what would have happened had that company ridden into Salem, 267 years ago on steam or electrics or an automobile. And how gallows-kill would have been thickly populated, while perhaps some of the more dangerous of the Witches and Wizards might have been fried or g rilled.

The records of the meeting of 1905 were read by the Assistant Secretary and approved as read. Reports of Officers.

In addition to the "Records," the Secretary reported the following deaths of members of the family for the year just closed: John Swan, Athol, and his brother Francis of So. Easton; Miss Abbie A. White, Worcester; Mrs. H. P. Stocker, Philadel- phia; George W. White, Springfield, Miss Nancy J. Booth, Gris- woldville; Andrew B. Macomber, Worcester; Charles C. Putnam, Lunenburg; Mrs. Phineas Stevens and her daughter Mrs. Wm.

J. Fort, Marshalltown, Iowa; Charles W. White, Stowe, N. Y. 28 DESCENDANTS OF

A letter from Dr. A. D. Stevens, Dunham, Quebec, Canada, date of Aug. 1, was read. This letter was written in the kindli- est vein, and while extending congratulations to all who should gather on this occasion, it expressed much gratification, that though four generations of his family had been born under Cana- dian skies, yet the blood was not so attenuated but that the dilu- tion was recognizable and that he still had a place with the Whites of Wenkam and Lancaster. A letter from F. W. C. Clement, Worcester, Mass., a bandmaster, who, while regretting his inability to attend this year, spoke hopefully of next year and the possibility that he might be able to furnish some music for the occasion.

Report accepted. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.

Mr. George A. White, Chairman of the committee to arouse enthusiasm for the reunions, reported : The Committee being so widely scattered that no regular meeting had been called. That he had sent communications to each member of the committee, asking for suggestions, that no one had replied and that no work had been done by the committee. Report accepted. JOHN WHITE. 29

Committee on Memorial reported in substance as follows :

Attention was called to the fact that the report the previous year had not been regularly accepted. That pressure had been brought to bear upon the committee from the largest contribu- tors to the fund, to do away with the " Bronze Tablet " part of the plan and to make it solid granite, on account of the proposed location and from its isolation, the liability to vandalism. This suggestion was finally adopted. New plans and prints made. It being finally decided to use Leominster Granite, a personal interview with the stone cutter at Leominster, that there should be no possible failure from any reason, and then the plans with specifications were submitted to the Cemetery Committee at Lan- caster. The plan was rejected because it was "of too modern aspect." A trip to Lancaster and an interview with the secretary of the Cemetery Committee did not relieve the tension. The only suggestion thus far that will be acceptable to the Cemetery

Committee is for a Slate Slab.

It being near the dinner hour the report was ordered upon the table until after lunch.

The Rev. Mr. Watson was invited to the platform and briefly addressed the association, speaking of the work of historical societies that has been and is yet to be accomplished and ot the social advantages and peculiar pleasures attending organizations of this kind. At 12.30 the association took recess for one hour for dinner, which the " Ladies' Aid," connected with the church, served in abundant quantity and acceptable manner.

At 1.30 p.m the Association was again called to order by the

President : The first business of the afternoon was the discussion of the report of the Committee on Memorial, which was taken from the table. Mr. George A. White of Franklin Park, Mr. Wm F. White of Ashburnham, the President, Secretary, and others spoke on the question.

The suggestion was made by the President that a suitable Memorial would be a bowlder taken from the original farm and properly inscribed. After much discussion the report was ac- — :

30 DESCENDANTS OF cepted as progressive, and the committee given authority to com- plete the work. The deciding of all questions to be with the committee.

New Business :

President J. B. White presented the following amendment "Past Presidents shall be Ex-officio members of the Executive Committee."

How to make these gatherings of greater interest and profit? The discussion resulted in the following motion: Three members be appointed as a Reunion Committee. Carried. The Chair appointed, Dr. Dana F. Downing, Boston; John F. White, Somer- ville; Geo. A. White, Franklin Park. Moved and carried: A nominating committee of three be appointed to present a list of nominations for officers. The chair appointed Miss Myra L. White, Haverhill, Mass.; Charles S. Houghton, Leominster, Mass.; Mrs. Charles H. White, Grandin, Mo.

The committee made the following report:

White the association, by a unanimous rising vote, extended to Mr. John B. White their cordial appreciation of his six years of efficient service as President. No further business .

JOHN WHITE. 31 appearing the chair called for some motion relative to the place of meeting one year hence. No action was taken and the matter was left to the Executive Committee Association was declared adjourned subject to the call of the Executive Committee.

Lancaster, Aug. 21, 1907.

The Association was called to order in the Lancaster Town Hall at 10.45 a.m., with the President John F. White of Somer- ville in the chair. In his opening remarks the President made

brief allusion to the purpose of the gatherings ; to the familiar faces that have met with us in the past, but will meet with us no more, for they have passed on to the " great majority," on the other side ; and to those who would gladly be with us but have been prevented by sickness and other valid reasons. Special reference was made to the absence of Mr. John B. White of Kansas City, Mo., our honored past. President of six years faithful service, who was compelled at the last moment to deny himself the pleasure of being with us.

The Rev. Albert H. Wheelock of Marlboro, Mass., was called upon to open the exercises with prayer. And in words breathing a spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving for the past and the present —and of strong hope for the future of greater accomplishment he committed the association and its work to the Great Father above. The records of the meeting at Wenham in 1906, were read by the Secretary and approved as read. The Treasurer George A. White of Franklin Park, Mass., presented the report of the finances for the year just closed, both of the general fund

and of the special Memorial Fund as follows :

Both reports accepted, on motion of the Treasurer it was voted to transfer the small balance of the Memorial Fund to the general fund of the Association.

The roll of the honored dead (which will appear later) was read by Secretary and at its close the association was called to stand while the Secretary read an original poem " A Tribute to the Dead," to which all listened with reverent attention. In the reports of Committees Dr. Downing reported on visiting other re- JOHN WHITE 35 unions, others spoke briefly. The opinion seemed to prevail that there is quite as much interest among the ''Whites," as among any of the family gatherings. Dr, Downing suggested that if more was done in the way of entertainment, the attendance would be perceptibly increased. Report accepted, and it was voted that the same committee serve another year.

Rev. A. H. Wheelock being called to the chair, President White, the chairman of the committee on the Memorial, presented the final report of that committee, briefly reviewing the four years of effort to accomplish the task of erecting a Memorial to our ancestor in the old Cemetery at Lancaster, and delivering

to the association the completed work as it appears in the " Old Burial Field," and all bills contracted by the committee in its work paid. The report accepted and a cordial vote of thanks extended to the Committee.

Many new facts having been recently established regarding the English ancestry previous to 1639, Dr. Dana F. Downing of West Newton, read a paper which gave much of the ancestry of both John White and Joan West, his wife, and of the conditions of the country that they left, for a home in the then new world. The reading was listened to with marked attention, and many later improved the opportunity to examine the genealogical chart that had been prepared by Dr. Downing in connection with the paper read. A unanimous vote of thanks was given Dr. Down- ing for his kindly efforts in behalf of the association.

Mr. W. F. White of Ashburnham moved that funds be provided for the purpose of putting Dr. Downing's address in print ; but on the intimation of the Secretary that it would probably be included in a printed report of the day's proceedings the motion was withdrawn.

The suggestion that the Reunion should not be held annually as heretofore, provoked much discussion. And while many ar-

guments were presented for and against ; a strong feeling seemed to prevail that a reunion should be held in 1908. The matter was finally disposed of by a vote to refer the time and place of the next reunion to the executive committee. The point was raised that proper notice of the reunion had not been given the 36 DESCENDANTS OF public. The discussion that followed developed the facts that Boston, Worcester and Fitchburg papers and many papers in the smaller towns in the vicinity had contained formal notices, and that more than 2500 notices had been sent through the mail by the Secretary and about 300 of which were within the boun- daries of the original town of Lancaster. No further business offering, by vote the chair appointed Miss Myra L. White of Ha- verhill, Dr. D. F. Downing of West Newton and Rev. A. H. Wheelock of Marlboro, as a committee on nomination to present a list of officers for the ensuing year. The committee reported the following :

President—John F. White, Somerville, Mass. Vice-President—Joseph H. White, Antwerp, N. Y. Vice-President—Gen. J. W. Kimball, Fitchburg, Mass. Vice-President—Henry R. Smith, Leominster, Mass. Vice-President—Lucian D. Warner, Naugatuck, Conn. Vice-President— Henry A. Knight, Worcester, Mass. Vice-President—Willis S. White, Sandy Hill, N. Y. Treasurer—George A. White, Franklin Park, Mass. Secretary—Miss Myra L. White, Haverhill, Mass. who were declared elected by consent.

Members of the Executive Committee, Ex-officio, Capt. Chas. H. White, Grandin, Mo., John B. White, Kansas City, Mo.

At 1 p.m., a recess was taken for dinner, and the President urged that all should assemble at 2.30 around the Memorial Stone in the Old Cemetery for the Dedicatory exercises and the formal transfer to the Cemetery Committee of Lancaster. Din- ner was served to as many as wished at the Lancaster Inn, while many brought baskets and found accommodations within the Town Hall. The hour was further improved in the payment of association dues, in visits to the old homestead on the Neck Road, the Public Library and other points of interest.

At 2.30 the threatening sky had opened her windows and the rain was falling in much more than a gentle shower, so that all who had found their way to the old cemetery were glad to return to the Town Hall for shelter. As there was no alternative JOHN WHITE 37

President White called the Association to order in the Town Hall at 3 p.m. for the Dedicatory exercises and the formal transfer of the Memorial. The Rev. Albert H. Wheelock of Marl- boro made the dedicatory prayer. In the absence of Mr. John B. White of Kansas City to whom had been assigned the duty of making the formal transfer to the Cemetery Committee, the President assumed the duty, and briefly alluding to the conditions of nearly three hundred years ago that surrounded our ancestors, and the freedom that they sought on the shores of the new world, and the honored place that they occupied in the history of Lancaster, he gave the Memorial Stone into the perpetual care of the town of Lancaster. Mr. John C. L. Clark, the Town Clerk and Secretary of the Cemetery Committee responded for the town of Lancaster, and accepted the trust.

Miss Ethel L. Wilder of Clinton sang, "The Lord is mindful of his own " accompanied by Mrs. Alfred B. Weisman on the piano. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. J. C. L. Clarke for his courtesy and aid to the Committee on Memorial, and also to Miss Myra L. White for her untiring efforts for the Association.

The President thanked all for their attendance during the day, for their interest in the work of the Association and for the kindly spirit and evident satisfaction in which they had received the reports of the various committees. And urging a more earnest and active interest in the remarkable Books of the Genealogy of the family and in our own and only Miss Myra and her wonderful work. No further business appearing the audience sang " " America and it was voted to adjourn and the reunion of 1907 was history.

Formal Transfer of the WHITE MEMORIAL to the Town of Lancaster by the President of the Association,

John F. White, Somerville, Mass.

Magnificent in their simplicity. With a strength and grandeur of character that stands out upon the page of history, unsur- passed in any epoch of time. A picture of sublime sacrifice that all the light of the twentieth century does not dim. This is the picture that we see as we look backward more than 250 years to the earliest days of the advance of the white man into the then unknown country, that is now the beautiful hills and valleys of Lancaster on the Nashua. A few choice spirits of heroic mould, whose faith was in their God, and in their own ability, by their perseverence and energy, to overcome all obstacles, and recog- nizing, not only the wonderful beauty of the location, but its utility as well, secured from the Colonial government the right of domain, and then proceeded to mark out and establish bound- ary lines and then to make for themselves homes. Among those men and women (for the women were no less heroic than the men,) and occupying a prominent place was the man and woman whose name you see upon that Memorial Stone.

To this man and woman the sacrifice was greater than it was to some of the others. Nurtured in homes across the sea that were as comfortable as moderate wealth could make them. Born of parents whose honorable position in the community in which they lived was unquestioned, surrounded by all the blessings and comforts that come from family ties and the associations of all the friends of their youth and early man and womanhood. All the environments of that life tended to, not only make them useful each to the other, but also to their God and to their fellow man.

But they sacrificed all of this And why? For conscience sake. If you will study closely the story of the lives of this man and woman,—and read between the lines —you will see that the reason that our ancestor left home and kindred and friends and all the comforts of civilization, was that his wife whom he honored above all women should have freedom to worship God. And that, in that age was not vouchsafed to her in Old England. But on the

And now, after the lapse of these centuries it is fitting that we should gather here to dedicate this Memorial Stone. The virtues of that man and woman are not chiseled upon that stone, they are written in Lancaster's history and indelibly impressed upon the hearts and lives of their descendants unto this day. As descendants we have erected this stone as a Memorial, but scattered as we are to the four winds, we cannot care for it, we cannot guard it from the ruthless hand of that renegade of humanity who would even mutilate the monuments of the dead. We must seek a perpetual caretaker. As this Association first sought and ob- tained permission from the town of Lancaster through its Ceme- tery Committee to erect this Memorial within this sacred enclosure dedicated as the resting place for the dead of many generations gone, so we now turn to this Cemetery Committee and ask, will you accept the trust ? We know with what faithful earnestness and what zealous care you guard all Memorials within your bor- ders that have been erected to perpetuate the glories of the past. So we make bold to deliver to your care and keeping this Mem- orial to our ancestors, confident that you will guard this with the same fidelity that you guard your own. Mr. Clark, the Associa- tion awaits your answer.

The Acceptance by Mr. J. C. L. Clark,

Secretary of the Cemetery Committee of Lancaster, Mass 42 DESCENDANTS OF

You remember the words with which St. Paul began his elo- quent plea before Agrippa the king, and Festus the Roman " governor : I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee." You will, I trust, deem me guilty of no irreverance if I paraphrase the words of the great apostle, and say, I think myself happy, members of the White Association, because I am permitted to speak for a few moments this day before you, as the representative of the dear old town of Lancaster, that town which has' been my home since childhood,

of which I am so proud and so fond ; that town which your ancestor, whom you have met this day to commemorate, helped to create.

Doubtless among the pioneer towns of this commonwealth and nation there are many others whose histories are as illustrious as

is that of Lancaster ; but I would fain think that it is excelled by none, and in thinking of the history of a town there are several points of view from which we may look at the matter. Perhaps we may think first of the great men and women, the men and women of note, whom that town has furnished to the state or to the world. Lancaster has not been behindhand in that respect. If we look at her leaders in war—and it is suitable that we should dwell upon this, for, as some one has pointed out, the history of Lancas- ter is pre-eminently a military history, just as the history of this nation is pre-eminently military ; the blessings that we enjoy to- day are the result of centuries of struggle—we see in the early wars with the Indians two very notable Lancastrians—Captain John White and Major Simon Willard. In the later all-important contest with the French and their savage allies for the domination of this continent we see Abijah Willard and John Whitcomb, both na- tives of Lancaster, and it was this same John Whitcomb who was senior major-general of the Massachusetts army when Washing- ton took command at Cambridge in 1775. In the second war with Great Britain we had Gen. Henry Whiting ; and in the titanic struggle between North and South, Lancaster gave to the nation that epitome of New England chivalry, self-contained, re- sourceful, dauntlessly brave, Francis Washburn. But it is not the leaders alone who make armies, through the whole course of Lancaster's existence we see bands of sturdy men and youths laying down the implements of their daily toil and shouldering; JOHN WHITE 43

the musket, marching forth to fight for their homes, for their ideals of civil and religious liberty, against an alien race or against a foolish king, and at last for the very existence of the nation. These common soldiers, these plain common men we honor, who according to their several abilities fought the good fight as well, offered their lives to their country as gladly and as gallantly as did John White and Simon Willard, Abijah Willard and John Whitcomb, Henry Whiting and Francis Washburn.

But it has not been all war. Lancaster has had men and women who have won victories of peace in a great way. It was the wife of her first minister who wrote that wonderful human document, the simple and naive story of her awful captivity among the Indians, which for generations was read at almost every New England fireside, along with the Bible, the almanac and Wigglesworth's Day of Doom. About twenty years ago an old gentleman, with whom it was my good-fortune to become in- timate, by some chance moved from his life-long home in another state to Lancaster. He told me that as soon as he got settled in his new home, he came up to the town library and asked for Mrs. Rowlandson's "Removes" which he remembered reading fifty years before, as a child, in Vermont.

There are but three more names I shall mention of those whose worthy fame in the civil walks of life are an honor to this town of their birth : Nathaniel Thayer, genius in the business world, wise philanthropist, big-hearted man Coolidge ; James Carter, one who like you traced his ancestry to John White, ideal lawyer and gentleman, who when he died a few years ago,

stood perhaps at the very head of the American bar ; Luther Burbank, the greatest horticulturist that the world has ever known.

But there is another, and to my mind the most important, way in which the history of a town must be considered, and that is to

answer the question, What is the character of that town? And

this character is determined not by the great and famous who have gone forth from her homes, but by her ordinary men and women, the men and women of only average ability and limited opportunities, whose lives are spent for the most part at home, and whose names are little known beyond the confines of their 44 DESCENDANTS OF

own town. If the average individual character of these people from generation to generation has been honest, industrious, pa-

triotic, religious, if they have done their best to bring up their children in the love of goodness and of knowledge, this then is the character of the town itself Will any one say that this is

not the character of Lancaster ?

You know that in the Roman Catholic Church, when some man or woman of the past who has excelled in virtue, or in piety,

or in the service of the church, is about to be elevated to the pinnacle of sainthood, there falls to one of the officers of the ceremonies of canonization the unpalatable duty of raking up from the past the faults, failings and blunders of the prospective

saint, and presenting any reasons, if reasons there be, why the

rites should not proceed. This officer is called the devil's advo-

cate, "advocatus diaboli." Well, I look upon your exercises to- day as a species of canonization of the simple and sterling virtues

of John White and Joan, his wife ; and it is quite possible to imagine some scoffer, some devil's advocate, standing forth here to-day and saying, Why all this pother? To what end ail this expense and trouble, simply to set a record in the most enduring form possible, for him who runneth to read, that there lived a man named John White, that he loved and wedded a woman named Joan, that she bore him children, and that man and wife

died ? Is not this the common lot of man ? Why, our devil's advocate might say, you know not even where the bodies of this man and woman were laid to rest, and the particles which formed

these bodies have long since been absorbed into soil, grass, tree

and flower. This is all true enough, and yet so false as scarcely

to need an answer. Is it nothing, Mr. Devil's Advocate, we would reply, that John and Joan White longed for a purer and a

freer atmosphere for themselves and for their children to breathe ? That they crossed the wide sea, so much wider, so much more fearsome then than now, to the confines of the new world, because as the goodwife Joan herself said, "her heart was drawn " towards New England because good people came hither ? Is it nothing that they pressed yet further to the westward with others of like courage to their own, yet further into the great wilderness

with its fierce beasts and its fiercer savages and its awful mystery ? Is is nothing that they made a home here in this lovely valley, JOHN WHITE 45

that they reared their children therein, in the love and fear of

God ? Is it nothing that thousands of their children's children to the twelfth generation owe something of the happiness and usefulness of their worthy lives to the fact that a little of the

blood of John and Joan White flows in their veins ? Is heredity

nothing ? Why, it is one of God's greatest agencies by which

his blessings is transmitted to the thousandth generation of them who love him and keep his commandments.

Members of the White Association, I congratulate you that you bring to fruition to-day a work which has cost you much time and thought and loving care, a work altogether filial and pious and worthy.

And it gives me the greatest pleasure, in behalf of the cemetery committee, to accept as a perpetual trust of the town which we serve, the beautiful and appropriate memorial, which you have erected to the memory of John White and Joan his beloved wife.

THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY AND HOME OF JOHN WHITE AND HIS WIFE JOANE.

Dana Fletcher Downing, A.M., M.D.

Mr. President and Fellow-Members of the Association of the Descendants of John White: —

To-day finds us holding our reunion in one of the two old home towns of our common ancestor. The magnificent old trees of Lancaster look down upon us as we gather to do honor to that ancestor. There is reason to believe that he dwelt beneath some of these very giants of the forest which we see on every hand. The forest indeed has long since disappeared before the advance of civilization but the traditions of this ancient village are kept fresh and bright by the descendants of the noble men and women who, in years gone by, here laid the foundations of the state. 46 DESCENDANTS OF

For some years now we have known the American history of White and his John many descendants ; for this knowledge we must thank our hard-working Secretary, Miss Myra L. White, and those members of the family who have helped her in the compilation of the best genealogical work that has ever been produced. We have often felt, however, that we should like to know the history of our ancestor and his forbears in England. Mr. John B. White of Kansas City, Missouri, an honored ex- president and benefactor of this Association, has furnished the money with which to make the search in the home country. It gives me great pleasure to announce to you at this time, that we have at last, after a great amount of labor, discovered beyond a doubt, the English home of John White and his English ancestry for two generations, the maiden name of his wife, Joane, her home in England, and her English ancestry for two generations.

In "The Descendants of John White 1638-1900, page 9 we read as follows :

" John White was of Salem in the Province of Massachusetts Bay, 1638. We have been unable to learn just when he came, the name of the ship he came on ; or the maiden name of Joanne, 4 his wife. (Oct. 28, 1784, Col. Jonathan White (150), of Leomin-

T 5 ster, told his son, Dea. James W hite (554), of Heath, Mass.,

(and he made a note of it, with the date in his account book) : his great grandfather came from the west part of England That ; 2 that he had two sons, Thomas' , who settled in Wenham, and 2 Josiah , who settled on his father's estate in Lancaster, and his son, Josiah, Jr. lived on the same estate, and his son Jonathan in Leominster, and his sons, James and Asaph, then lived in Charle- mont." It is signed James White, and he adds " This account I had from my father, this day."

With this as a starting point much searching was carried on in

7 the W est of England. Unfortunately the West of England was rather indefinite so that nothing of any moment was discovered. Somewhat later the following documents were found in The His- torical Register, Vol. 31, pp. 312, 313.

I. Letter of Tristram Dalliber, of Stoke Abbas, Dorsetshire, Eng. April 20, 1648, to John Balch and Wm. Woodbury, of Salem, N. E.— JOHN WHITE. 47

*' Dear & loving frinds my love Remembered unto you & to wives & all yours hoping of you's helth & bapines as I am and you's frinds at the writing heare of blessed be the lord tor it.

If Mr. torry had not bin gon before I knew of I should have sent you some token of my love to you but seing he is gone I shall Remaine your debter until the next yeare and then I shall send

it by John Whitt

your louing friend from Stoke abbots Tristram Dalliber." in Dorset the 20 of Aprill 1648."

This letter reveals the fact that John White returned to Eng- land in 1647-48 and intended to remain until 1649-50.

II. Power of Attorney March 27, 1652, from Tristram Dalli- ber to his friend William Woodbury of Salem and his brother Samuel Dalliber of Marblehead, N. E.

Knowe all men by these p'sents that I Tristram Dalliber of Stoocke abbots in the County of Dorset haue instituted ordayned & made and in my place & steede haue put my well beloued freinds William Woodbery of Salem & my brother Samuell Dalli- ber of marbellhed my trew and lafull attorneys to aske and Reco'er & Receaue of John Whitt of wenomen the some of fifty pounds of good and lafull English mony for princypall and charg geuen and granting" to my said atornies there executors administors or asines full power & authoryty to sue arest im- preson & impleade the sayd John Whitt his executors & asines &

In witness wheareof I haue heare unto sett my hand & sealle 26th day of March anno domie 1652. Tristram Dalliber (Seal) 48 DESCENDANTS OF

This power of attorney proves beyond a doubt that the "John Whitt " mentioned in the letter and the " John Whitt of wen- " omen are one and the same person, that is John White of

Wenham. From it the inference may also be drawn that John White had returned from England before 1651-52. The fact that he returned to New England at or about this time is confirmed inasmuch as he is "first mentioned in Lancaster, May 1, 1653, when he, with others subscribed to 'Rules for Proportion " of Meadow.'

Mr. J. Henry Lea of the New England Historical and Genea- logical Society of Boston considered this visit of John White to

England, and concluded that it must have been made on account or property litigation. Consequently he had his workers in England search the English chancery records prior to 1714.

I shall now read you the various documents which he found and you will note as I read the valuable and interesting points concerning John White and his wife Joane which they contain.

Plaintiff is John White of South Petherton, co. Somerset. Dated 10 May 1649. * # # This is the. Bill of Complaint of John White in the suit

White v. White et al., Bridges 389 : 188. The bill as attached to the other documents in that suit is in precis only and in bad condition. This, the original Bill, is somewhat fuller and in sound condition. It alleges that defendant Robert White, plaintiff's brother, in failing to make payment for the lands at Southarpe, "the rather encouraged himself therein, for that, declaring himself disaffected in ye Parliament's cause, hoped that plaintiff could never have power to obtain a legall remedy." It further JOHN WHITE. 49 states that Elizabeth, relict of Richard West, afterwards married into Richard Robert Hall ; and that the bond in £80, entered by West, was " plundered and taken from plaintiff amongst other things by violence of ye King's partie of souldiers."

White vs. White, et al.

Bridges 389:188.

Bill of complaint of John White of the parish of South Pether- ton, co. Somerset; yeoman, dated 6 February 1648-9. About ten years since, by agreement between one Harvord deceased and William Storton, Plaintiff was to give to Harvord and Stor- ton the sum of £8 for the grass growing in a close in the parish of Ilbrews in the county aforesaid. For payment thereof plaintiff became bound in a penal bond and about the time limited did pay unto Storton the half of the debt. Notwithstanding, Har- vord, now dead, his wife, and Thomas their son, have commenced action at law against plaintiff, and will neither abate the money paid to Storton nor take less upon the bond than the whole pen- alty. Further : About ten or eleven years now sithence plaintiff's brother agreed to pay unto him the sum of £4-30 in consideration of a surrender of a copyhold which plaintiff had for his and other lives in a tenement with meadow thereunto belonging, lying at a place called Southart in the parish of South Petherton, to' the end that the said Robert (sic) might be admitted tenant thereof. Plaintiff accordingly surrendered his estate, and Robert White was admitted thereto, but failed to make payment of the greatest part of the £430. Further: About 20 years sithence, upon plaintiff's marriage with his now wife, daughter of Richard West, said West became bound unto plaintiff in the penal sum of £80 to pay unto plaintiff the sum of £40 in case his (West's) wife should happen to die and he (West) should marry again and so cause his tenement lying at Burton, co. Somerset, to be with- held from plaintiff and his wife, she having an estate therein ex- pectant on the death of the said West. West's wife died, and West thereupon married Elizabeth a second wife. West died, and Elizabeth his then wife, coming into all his real and personal SO DESCENDANTS OF estate, withholdeth the copyhold tenement at Burton from plaintiff and his wife and denies to give any satisfaction in respect of the ,£40 secured to plaintiff by West her husband. Moreover

Robert White and Robert Hall and his wife, i.e. Elizabeth West combining and confederat-together, do pretentt themselves witnesses one for the other to make good their plots against plaintiff. Writin a cause between John White v. Robert White and Robert Hall and his wife, dated 12 May 1649.

Answer of Robert White one of the defendants, sworn at

Ilminster 26 May 1649:—Defendant sayeth that true it is that on or near about the month of February 1638 this defendant did agree to pay unto plaintiff £430 in consideration of a surrender to be made of some copyhold estate which plaintiff had for his own life and the lives of Thomas White and Josias White his brethren and for the lives of every of them longest living, of and in a messuage, tenement, orchard and 20 acres 3 roods of land meadow and pasture lying in the Manor of Southarpe in the parish of Southpetherton, to the end that this defendant Robert White might have an estate of the same for the lives of such three persons as this defendant should name. And this defendant confesseth that plaintiff, according to agreement, did afterwards, at a court holden for the said Manor in the said month of February, surrender his said estates, and that immediately upon the same surrender, at the same Court, a copyhold estate of the said premises was granted to this defendant Robert White for life and the lives of Robert White the younger and William White this defendant's sons and the life of every of them longest living, and that thereupon at the same Court, this defendant was admitted to the said premises. And this defendant further sayeth that upon and after the said surrender this defendant at divers times before the month of May, then next following did satisfy and pay unto plaintiff divers sums of money amounting in all to £235.2s.6d. and he further sayeth that plaintiff, being indebted unto divers persons in divers sums, did appoint and direct defendant to pay the same, and that he, this defendant, in or before the said month of May, did pay as directed the sums following : To Johan Peirce alias Moren widow £40 , to John

Moore, £6. 13s. 4d ; to Roger Baylye and his son £5.6s.8d ; to Thomas White £75; to William Meriam £8.1 2s. 9d; to (Joscelyn?) JOHN WHITE 51

Gardner £l0.l6s.0d; to Roger Gawler £6.10s.0d; To John VVoolmington £3; to John Legg £ll and to William £10

in all £l92.l7s 11. Afterwards, in or about the said month of May, 1639, plaintiff departed out of this Kingdom of England and sailed into New England and then remained by the space of divers years after, and in or about the month of February, 1647—

(8), plaintiff, being returned out of New England, did come unto this Kingdom of England, since which time defendant hath de- livered unto plaintiff so much corn and malt as amounteth in all to £6. 9s. 3d, and one steer for £4-, and did pay unto one William Goold 8s. 4d. Defendant has thus paid out to or for plaintiff, the

sum of £439. 10s. by which it appears that he hath not only fully satisfied plaintiff of his debt, but that plaintiff is indebted to this defendant in the sum of £9.10s.O. Concerning the other

matters in plaintiff's bill contained, and laid to the charge of the other defendants Katherine Harvord alias Harvye, Thomas Har- vord alias Harvye and Robert Hall and Elizabeth his wife, defendant sayeth that he is a mere stranger to all and every of them and therefore cannot say anything material touching or concerning them or any of them or any part or parcel of them or any them.

On that accompt, plaintiff was found arrears, viz : to William Stourton £6, and to John Harvord £8.5s.0d. He believes that plaintiff, for the more sure payment of the £8.5s.O to John Har- vord owing, did by bill obligatory bearing date 21 May 1638 acknowledge the debt and become bounden in the penal sum of 52 DESCENDANTS OF

,£l6.10s.O to pay the same on the 21st of May next ensuing. He hath heard William Stourton Confess that plaintiff had paid or given to him (Stourton) satisfaction for the money due to him upon the said accompt. Plaintiff, after he had entered into the aforesaid bond, did depart out of this kingdom of England and sailed into New England, where he remained divers years after. John Harvord meanwhile died intestate, and letters of administration of his goods were committed to Katherine Harvord his late wife, who, having some intelligence that plaintiff was returned out of New England, and being an aged and week woman and not well able to travel about her affairs, did entreat this defendant being her son, to go about the obtaining of the said debt and to cause the said bill to be put in suit at the common law against plaintiff.

The answer of Robert and Elizabeth Hall does not appear.

Further investigation revealed some wills which are of interest. The first one is the will of an uncle of John White of Wenham and the second is that of the wife of this uncle.

As I have read these old documents you have noted certain items of great interest as touching the ancestry of John and Joane White.

From an author who wrote in 1742 we learn the following regarding South Petherton. " The river Pedred gave name to this town, being at first called Pedridan and after Petherton, or Pedred-town. It was of old, famous for being the palace of King

Ina of Wessex, but now is of little note for anything but that it is a market town, the market being weekly on Thursday, and fair yearly on the eve, day, and morrow after the nativity of St. John the Baptist June 24 and three next following."

In the History of Somerset by Rev. John Collinson 1791, we find " this : South Petherton, anciently called Pedredan, from the river Pedred or Parret, is the first considerate parish which that stream formerly traversed in its way from South Parret in Dor- setshire (where it rises) to the sea. It passes here under a stone 56 DESCENDANTS OF bridge of three arches a mile southward of the church, in the turnpike road from I] minster to Yeovil, and at the intersection of the Roman fosse road coming from Ilch ester. This bridge was formerly of wood, which being become ruinous, and, two children having been drowned in the river near it, the parents of those children rebuilt it of stone, and caused their little infant effigies to be placed thereon by way of commemorating the cir- cumstance. In a field near this bridge a large pot full of Roman coins, to the quantity of six pecks was dug up about the year 1720; and near Jailer's Mill in the same neighborhood, in the tithing ot Southarp, a little below the surface of the grounds are the remains of Roman buildings, which the common people, from the name, suppose to be foundations of an old prison. In this spot also coins, fragments of urns, paterae, and pieces of terras have been discovered

The parish is divided into the following tithings, viz.:

(1). The Town-Tithing, consisting principally of three irregular streets about a church ... There was formerly a large market hall and cross here, both which, with several houses, were

destroyed in the last century ; and instead of a large manufacture of cloth, there still remains a considerable one of dowlas.

(2). Southarp-Tithing, which lies southeastward from the church, and in some ancient records is called Southington, alias Southapbrigg.

(3). Over-Stratton, lying southward, and deriving its name from the old Roman Street, the Fosse, on which it is situated.

(4). Compton-Durville, northwest.

It need not be argued that South Petherton and its vicinity were known to the Roman people, as it lies so near to one of their principal roads, and as their reliques have here been so fre- quently discovered. When the Romans relinquished this country, South Petherton became the possession and the seat of the Saxon Kings. Ina had a palace here. The inhabitants shew an old house near the church, with ancient windows and armorial shields, which still bears that prince's name, but which in reality was the erection of more modern times, and the old palace must long ago have been level with the ground. JOHN WHITE. 57

King Athelstan is reported to have kept his feast at Pedredan, and the possession of this place was thought an object of im- portance by all his successors till after the Norman conquest. The extent and value of this lordship in those days will appear from the following record from the Domesday Book :

" The King holds Sudperet. King Edward held it. It never gelded, nor are the number of hides known. The arable is twenty-eight carucates (2800 acres.)' In demesne are two carucates (200 acres) and five servants, and twenty -two coliberts (ten- ants) and sixty-three villanes (serfs) and fifteen cottagers (com- moners) with twenty-six ploughes. There is a mill rendering twenty shillings, and fifty acres of meadow. Wood eleven furlongs long and ten furlongs broad (1 1/5 sq. miles.) It yields forty-two pounds and one hundred pence of twenty to the ore. Of this manor Marlesvain held two hides in Stratone (Over-

Stratton) in the time of King Edward, and it was thane-land. It now pays sixty shillings to the King's farm. From the same manor is taken away half a hide. Norman holds it of Roger de

Curcelle, and it is worth sixteen shillings. To this manor was paid in the time of King Edward from Cruche (Crewkerne) an annual customary rent, that is six sheep with as many lambs, and from every free man a blome of iron. Turstin holds it of Earl Morton, but the custom was disused after the Earl became seized of the land."

"This large and valuable manor was not immediately parted from the crown, but exclusive of a few portions separated there- from, was held by the Kings of England for a considerable suc- cession, till at length it became the property of the family of Daubeney." ....

The manor of Southarp is the property of Mrs. Child, relict of Robert Child, Esq., late an eminent banker in London.

The church stands on a little eminence nearly in the centre of the town, and is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul It is a large structure, built in the form of a cross, having two side aisles, and a north and south transept, with an octangular tower at their intersection, crowned with a spire covered with lead, and 58 DESCENDANTS OF containing a clock, chimes, and six musical bells. Behind the altar is a vestry-room, which was formerly a confessional, having two doors to enter it.

South Petherton is described as a " quaint place and somewhat picturesque withal in the midst of a pleasant country." It is seven miles southwest from Ilchester, seven north from Lang- port and one hundred thirty -seven from London and in 1821 contained four hundred one inhabited houses, and four hundred thirty-six families.

The Wests were of Drayton. In Collinson's History of Som- erset we find the following :

" At a distance of nine miles eastward from Ilminster and two west from Langport, stands Drayton, the river Parret dividing it from Muchulney, and the He from Lambrook and Kingsbury.

This parish is flat, clamp, and woody, and is almost surrounded by moors. It contains (1790) about fifty houses, which are mostly built with rough stone, or mud, thatched. Forty of them form the village of Drayton, an irregular street near the

church ; three others are in the hamlet of Week, one mile north-

west ; and the remainder are separate houses. The number of souls about two hundred and sixty eight.

The lands are chiefly a mixture of meadow and pasture, and on the average worth thirty shillings an acre. There is however a considerable share of arable in common fields, which produce good crops of wheat and barley, worth at least twenty shillings per acre. The stone here is a strong lyas. The roads are rough in summer and miry in winter.

The manor anciently belonged to the abbey of Muchelney, as appears from the following record from the Domesday Book :

" The church itself holds Draitune. The arable is fifteen carucates (1500) acres . . . There are fifty acres of meadow, and pasture two miles in length and one in breadth. A wood two miles long, and one and a half wide. . . . The church is a very ancient edifice, composed of a body, north aile, chancel and and porch, covered with tiles. It has an embattled tower at the west end forty feet high, with a turret at the northeast angle, a. JOHN WHITE 59

clock and five bells. The length of the church is ninety-six feet,

the breadth twenty-seven. The entrance into it from the porch

is under a fine Saxon arch. . . .

In the church-yard are two fine yew trees, with circular stone seats under them ; and an old stone cross, with three rows of steps, in good repair."

This concludes what is now known of the English ancestry and home of John White and Joane, his wife. There is doubtless much more to be known and in time we may have it in our possession.

From this knowledge we may draw the conclusion that our English ancestors were of that sturdy yeoman class which made the foundation of this Republic strong and sure. They were surrounded at home by moors, forests, rivers and hills. This made them hardy and independent, stout of heart and strong of body. The wilderness of New England had no terrors for them,

no obstacles too difficult for them to overcome. It is fitting that for all time, we, their descendants, should gather from every quarter to do them honor and to knit closer the bonds of kinship which are the very foundation of civilized society. All honor to John White and to his good wife Joane. 60 DESCENDANTS OF

Before me, Peter C. Bacon, Justice of the Peace, for said County of Worcester.

This Certifies that Captain Horace Hobbs Enlisted from Worcester County, Massachusetts, to serve nine months, and was mustered into the United States service on the 25th day of September, 1862, as Captain of Company " H " 51st Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, Colonel A. B. R Sprague commanding.

The 51st Regiment comprised that part of the nine months' quota recruited from the southern portion of Worcester County, including the city, and rendezvoused at Camp Wool, at Worces- ter. Six of the companies were mustered in on the 25th day of

September, 1862; " B ", "D" and "G" on the 30th, "F" on the 14th of October, and the field officers on the 1 1th of Novem- ber. On the 25th it embarked at Boston for North Carolina, for service under General Foster, by special request of that officer. It arrived at Beaufort, N.C., on the 30th, and proceeded to New- bern, where it was assigned to Colonel Amory's Brigade. On

Dec. 11th it was ordered to form part of the Goldsboro Expedi- tion, during which it was under fire at Whitehall. During the operations at Goldsboro, it was on duty as guard of the rear of the column and the long baggage train. Returned to Newbern on the 21st and occupied the barracks on the Trent River. On the 30th, Company " G " was detailed for garrison duty at Brice's

Ferry, where it remained until the expiration of its term of service. Jan. 1 7th, 1863, seven companies of the regiment took JOHN WHITE. 75

part in the expedition to Pollockville, whence on the following morning two companies went with the main column to Trenton, while the five remaining companies, with some cavalry, held Pol- lockville until the return of the force. The five companies were then sent on in advance to Young's Cross Roads, encountering the enemy's outposts at White Oak Creek, and driving them back, The regiment returned to the camps about Newbern on the 21st of January, 1863. From March 2d to May 4th it performed guard and garrison duty, with headquarters at Beaufort. Jane

24th it was ordered to Fortress Monroe, Va., where it arrived on the 27th, and thence to Massachusetts for muster out. While waiting for transportation, learning of General Lee's advance in- to Maryland, Colonel Sprague tendered the services of the regiment during the emergency. The offer being accepted, the com-

mand was ordered to Baltimore, Md , arriving July 1st, and details were at once put to work on the fortifications. July 6th it was attached to a Provisional Brigade and moved by rail to

Sandy Hook, thence marched to Fort Duncan, where it remained until the 12th, when orders were received to join the Army of the Potomac, and Brigade was assigned to the 2d Divi- sion, 1st Array Corps, and took position in the second line of battle before Williamsport, Md., marching on the 15th through Funkstown to near Berlin, where orders were received to proceed to Massachusetts for muster out.

The said Captain Horace Hobbs was at all times with his regiment, being on active duty in command of his company through all its operations and campaigns as above outlined, and achieving a gallant record as a brave soldier and efficient officer.

He was honorably discharged at Worcester, Mass., on the 27th day of July, 1863, by reason of expiration of term.

Mr. White is a practical mechanic, and has been foreman of several woodwork- ing establishments, where order work was done, as organ building, plaining mills, pump factories and general cabinet making. While living in his native state, New York, he worked from the age of fourteen till eighteen years, in a woolen factory, where he made a machine for napping fulled cloth and brushing after the cloth

was sheared, and the same style of machine is in use to this day. When he left the woolen factory, he could take the fleece of wool and make it into the finest broadcloth. He is now a cabinet maker in Edenboro, Pa., where he went when but eighteen years of age, and most of his long life has been spent there, he never having made a home in any other place; though he sometimes worked for a short time in other localities, he was always glad when the time came to go home.

8 before me a paper prepared by James Brown Lord ( 16 ), to be JOHN WHITE 123 read at a gathering of the Sawyer family, August 30, 1904, from " which I copy the following : You are now assembled at what was the residence of Mr. Francis Sawyer, or, as the name was then written, Sayer, the great great grandfather of our generation, and the great great great grandfather of the generation succeed- ing. I am unable to say much about him, except that he must have been a man of much prominence, as no other was entitled to the appellation of Mister, others being called Goodman so and so. And this must have been in those days, quite a palatial mansion, having the very large rooms that were the real old Col- onial style, and it seems to me I recollect it, although at an early age it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between what has been told us and what we remember. I do, however, remember the large open fireplace in the kitchen with its blazing wood fire, and remember sitting within it on a stool of an evening while the fire was burning, and looking clear up to the top of the chimney and seeing the stars in the sky. You will notice the location of this house, before the warehouses were built upon the wharf opposite,

it commanded a view right down the river to the abrupt turn

' known as Nabbies Point ' and for vessels sailing up the river, it was necessary for them in order to keep the channel, to sail in a straight line, from the Point to the front door of the Sawyer House, and as navigation was more extensive in those days than

now, large quantities of lumber being brought in, which is now

sent by rail, at night they kept a light over the door to show vessels their course. I do not know how many children Francis had—all I'know is, that his son Samuel was the one from whom we descend. I find this the most interesting, the original of

' which I have, reads as follows : Know all men by these Present that we Thomas Knowlton of Ipswich in the County of Essex, fisherman, and Sarah his wife for and in consideration of thirty three pounds Six Shillings and Eighty Pence Lawful Money Paid us By Samuel Sawyer of the Same Ipswich, yeoman, the Re- ceipt whereof we hereby acknowledge have given granted and sold and by these Present Do give Grant, Bargain and Sell unto the said Samuel Sawyer and to his Heirs and assigns a Negro

woman named Venus for and during her Natural life together with her Clothing of Every Sort She Now has—To have and to Hold the Said Negro Venus for and during the term of Life as aforesaid and we covenant with the said Samuel Sawyer that we "

124 DESCENDANTS OF have good right to sell and convey the said Nigro woman as aforesaid and that we and our heirs, executors, and administrators will warrent and defend the said Samuel Sawyer and his heirs and assigns against the lawful claims or demands of all persons whatsoever to the said Negro Woman.

Mr. Samuel Sawyer, lived in Ipswich, on East street, the house facing the river, and known as the Francis Sawyer House, it is still standing. His will was probated Dec. 6, 1808, we do not find the date of his death.

" Dr. George W. Sawyer moved from Ipswich to Boxford, onto his wife's farm—which was a part of the land granted to Gov- ernor Winthrop for a summer home. I think they came to Box- ford in 1808. He was the kind cheery country doctor for miles around. If his patients were poor they never were asked to pay for any service he could render." Polly Killam taught school before her marriage. I have heard it said that she was very fond of pretty clothes and dancing, and although very religious, and brought up her six sons to be good and useful citizens, she yet loved to dance and at eighty, I have seen her dance to the music of a bagpipe. She d. Sept. 27, 1860, having lived a widow over five years. Dr. Sawyer received the name of George Whitefield, because he was born the night that Rev.

9 GRACE Folsom Leavitt (4398), Vol. I, p. 378, b. in Ports- mouth, N. H. Feb. 6, 1867 graduated in the of ; Latin course the Portsmouth High School, June, 1886. Entered the training school for teachers, September 1887, graduated as a primary tea-

cher ; taught in the public schools of Portsmouth till 1892, when she entered Miss Symonds' kindergarten in Boston and graduated June, 1893 and entered Derby Academy, Hingham, Mass., primary and kindergarten teacher, the September following. She died in the hospital in Boston, Apr. 24, 1907. Words cannot express the loss of such a daughter and sister, from a motherless family. It is a void that can never be filled. An im- pressive service was held at the New North Church, Hing- ham, on Tuesday afternoon in memory of Miss Grace F. Leavitt, tor nearly thirteen years, the beloved teacher of the younger classes in Derby Academy. It was eminently fitting that at the same hour in which her friends were gathering in her Ports- mouth home those in Hingham, to whom she had endeared herself during all these years, should come together to testify to their sorrow and their personal loss. It was well too, that the devotion of a faithful teacher should be thus publicly recog- nized. Not since 1844 has a teacher given to the Academy an equal number of years of effort and accomplishment ; and in its whole long and honorable history none could have shown an interest more unflagging than hers. Verily she glorified her work. From the old school building, where the flag floated at half mast and the bell was slowly tolled, the pupils and teachers walked across to the church and took the seats reserved for them. The front pews were occupied by the trustees, while the body of the house was filled with parents and friends. Rev. Charles E. Park, of the First Church of Boston, gave a brief address on the value and the inspiration of such a life as Miss Leavitts. A memorial not cast in marble shaft or brazen tablet, but graven upon our hearts. Hon. John D. Long spoke with a strong note of personal feeling, of the lovely influences such a life sends forth. Miss Helen Fearing sang two selections, Mrs. JOHN WHITE. 137

Stowe's beautiful hymn, "Still, Still with Thee," and Gounod's, " Lovely Appear." Mr. Park's prayer of gratitude for the gentle memory which must always be a helpful and ennobling one, found

its echo in many hearts. At a meeting of the Trustees of Derby Academy held on Monday last, the following action was taken relative to the death of Miss Leavitt. The Trustees of Derby Academy put upon their records their high appreciation of the services and character of Grace F. Leavitt, for thirteen years a devoted and faithful teacher, who died April twenty-seventh nineteen hundred seven. Charged with the care and training of the youngest pupils she has been unremitting in her attention to them. So gentle, so tender, so careful of all their wants, so helpful in their instructions, that she has been more than, teacher, a loving friend, who won their affection, who helped mould their character and who had the profound regard of the patrons of the Academy.

1, 1866, Almira F. Rand, who died in their home in Portsmouth,

Aug. 2, 1902. He died very suddenly, at his desk in the Navy

Yard, June 1, 1909. It is truly said of him, "he was a thor- oughly trustworthy and concientious man and a good citizen." He was a soldier in the civil war, a member of Company B New Hampshire Heavy Artillery. Also a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Portsmouth, where the funeral was held, Rev. George W. Farmer officiating, assisted by Rev. J E. Rob- bins of the Weirs. Mrs. Oliver Priest sang "Rock of Ages" and "Nearer My God to Thee," two favorites of the deceased. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."

A resident of Haverhill, Mass., for more than forty-two years, she was a woman widely known and greatly beloved by all who knew her, and her death comes as a great bereavement not only to the members of her family, but those who have learned to love her through long years of association in the home and in the First Baptist Church, of which she was a member.

Robert Foster Kirkpatrick of Austin, Texas, (formerly of Alabama). Their home continued to be in Austin until the time of her death, April 21, 1908. She left an infant son to sustain the great loss of an ideal, young, gentle, Christian mother. The husband, an only sister and her parents, were all but overwhelmed by this very unexpected and seemingly untimely death. Her remains were lovingly borne back to her old home in Cincinnati, to be placed in beautiful Spring Grove Cemetery, the casket rested before the altar of the old home church amidst beautiful and abundant floral offerings, where as a very young girl, she had confessed her faith in the Heavenly Father, and where as a beautiful bride she had plighted her troth. Her memory is cher- ished by a large circle of friends. Especially by her co-workers, the teachers and the pupils of the Public School who were deeply attached to her. The Superintendent of the Cincinnati Public Schools, dismissed the school of her home suburb, Price Hill, where she had been associated as pupil and later as teacher* so that the teachers and pupils might attend the funeral services*

Her infant son is a splendid child and in robust health. He is in Richmond, Va., with his father, who has spared no pains for his well being.

Resolutions of the Ladies' Missionary and Pastors' Aid Socie- ties of the Highland Presbyterian church, Austin Texas:

"Our hearts were bowed and overwhelmed with grief when God, our Heavenly Father, called from earth to heaven on Tues- day, April 21, 1908 our beloved friend and co-worker, Mrs. Irene White Kirkpatrick, wife of our pastor, Rev. R. F. Kirkpatrick. God's ways are oftentimes mysterious. This dear woman had not even reached the noontime of life. Her beautiful and useful life was cut off before its meridian, but she has left behind a sweet, fragrant memory that can never be forgotten. She was the impersonation of beautiful, refined, lovely womanhood, and possessed a love and sympathy that encircled everyone she met, and a kindness and hospitality unchanging and sincere. To say "we miss her" conveys but feebly an idea of the void her death JOHN WHITE 139 has made in our church among our young people, and in our so- cities, where her smiling face, her unremitting zeal, her wonderful capability and tact were an example and stimulus to us all. We do not see how we can do without her, yet we bow in hum- ble submission to God's will, believing that we shall understand sometime. Therefore be it resolved:

(i) That, though we mourn her loss so deeply, we thank our Heavenly Father for the little taste of companionship we have enjoyed with her, and the example and influence she has shed among us by her happy and sympathetic disposition and sweet counsel.

(2) That we tender our deepest sympathy to her bereaved husband, and offer for him our earnest prayers for God's protection and comfort in his time of trouble, and for the sanctifying to him of his deep distress.

(3) That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing parents and sister who feel their loss so keenly.

(4) That copies of these resolutions be presented to the grief- stricken husband and parents, and that they also be spread on the records of both societies. (signed) Mrs. George Begg, Mrs. Stella McG. Adams, Committee. Child:

Note from "Samuel Stearns; a Biographical Sketch," by

J. C. L. Clark. (Printed by permission of Mr. Clark). "The wife of Josiah Wheeler was Martha Prescott, daughter of John Prescott, Jr., and granddaughter of ' the father of Lan- caster.' This fact is established by a reference in the Lancaster Book of Lands to Josiah Wheeler's father-in-law, John Prescott, and by a deed, 5 Feb., 1707-8 (Middlesex registry, vol. xxiii, pp.

188-9) from John Houghton, Jr., to 'my Loving Brother-in-Law Josiah Wheeler Joyner'. This John Houghton, called lieutenant,

married Mary, daughter of John Prescott, Jr., and widow of Philip Goss. As she was in her sixty-ninth year when she died, JOHN WHITE 159

21 May, 1748, Martha Prescott's birth, of which I have found no record, must have occurred near the time (about 1679) of her parents' return to Lancaster after the abandonment of the town in 1676. The discovery of her parentage confirms the late A. E. Ford's conjecture (see History of the Origin of Clinton, Mass., p. 64), that John Keyes of Lancaster, and later of Shrewsbury, known as Deacon John, married Sarah, another daughter of John

Prescott, Jr., for in a deed dated 22 Nov. 1721 (Middlesex registry, Vol. xxiii, p. 187) Keyes calls Josiah Wheeler his brother- in-law.
